Hi All,

Wondered if someone could help with an issue that's just developed on my car.

The central locking doesn't seem to open the passenger door anymore, you can hear the motor tick but that doesn't seem to unlock the passenger door.

If you unlock the car, get into the drivers side then use the interior handle the door can be unlocked using the exterior handle.

I've already tried cleaning up the locking mechanism, I've also scanned with VDCS and that came back with:
00929 - Locking Module for Central Locking: Front Passenger Side (F221): Implausible Signal

Any help is very much appreciated! :D
 
Does the drivers door remote unlocking switch fail to open the passenger door as well?
 
Sometimes the solenoid can operate and bounce back into the locked position, due to disconnected cables, bent rods, weak springs, clips fallen off etc. Time to take of the door card and have a looksie in there to see whats happening.

Hi BUD, had the same problem on my 2007 quattro last summer, this is a common fault. I tried lubricants etc, etc. but what you need is a new door lock mech. Brandnew 165.00 from tps. then fitting on top.But if your handy go to a scrap yard and get the latest 2012 model a3 for 60.00 and fit the replacement yourself. thats what i did very simple to remove and fit
